I am throwing in the wires for free, so please, no complaints. They work and are not all the same color, but you could use them if you ever need to replace one wire. The two wire holders for the valve covers are also included from free.
These are solid but not perfect. You can see in the picture below there is a little chipping by the screw hole. Only one set available.
GOOD used shoulder harness latch mechanism complete with rail holder and black plastic cover. MAKE SURE your LATCH HOLE is like the one below. Later latches had a smaller slot.
ONLY one available. These are the actual parts you will receive packed carefully.
Excellent used all-metal driver and passenger-side tail light bulb holders for early sedans. The later models were plastic. These are exceptionally nice units with very bright reflectors and clean bulb sockets.
I call this the hidden and forgotten bushing. Why? Because you can not see it to inspect it, it hardly ever gets changed. When these bushings wear out you will feel "weird" movement in your rear end, especially going over rough ground.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not sell the coil-over shocks. These can be purchased from numerous sources online. Kent used the shocks from Hiro Performance. You can use google to find these sources.

One very minor weakness on the W123 is the glove box door. This is because 2 of the key stress points built into the door are made of plastic. One would be the pin holding the latching mechanism ( Kent already has a repair kit for that - see related products.
